CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/925,532 filed on Apr. 20, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamide analogs that are useful for inhibiting protein kinase activity. The invention is directed to methods for preparing and manufacturing certain crystalline forms and polymorphs of substituted anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamides as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. In particular, the invention is directed to methods for preparing and manufacturing one or more crystalline forms and polymorphs of N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)benzenesulfonamide and related compounds as succinate salts.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Certain substituted anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamide analogs have been discovered, which are useful for inhibiting protein kinase activity. One such compound is N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)benzenesulfonamide. The compound is prepared in the form of a free base, which has little to no water solubility.

The compound, in the form of a free base, hydrates, solvates or acid salts, belongs to a class of drugs typically referred to as IKK inhibitors. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is a transcriptional factor that regulates the expression of important genes related to cell survival. Aberrant expression of IKK has been correlated with activation of NF-κB and, in turn, tumorigenesis and cell proliferation. High IKK levels may also promote tumorigenesis by negatively regulating other transcription factors, such as FOXO factors. It has been described in Hu, M. (2004) “IκB Kinase Promotes Tumorigenesis through Inhibition of Forkhead FOXO3a,” Cell, 117, 225-237 and Haefner, B. (2002) “NF-κB: arresting a major culprit in cancer,” Drug Discovery Today, 7, 653-663. Thus, inhibiting IKK may inhibit cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.

Methods for synthesizing substituted anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamides, such as N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)benzenesulfonamide, are described in PCT Publication WO 2006/044457 Al and U.S. Pat. No. 6,794,403.

The crystalline form of a particular drug as a salt, a hydrate, a solvate, and/or any polymorphs thereof is often one important determinant of the drug's ease of preparation, stability, solubility, storage stability, ease of formulation and in-vivo pharmacology. Different crystalline forms of the same composition, known as polymorphs, occur when a composition crystallizes in different lattice arrangements or where solvent molecules including, but not limited to, water molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice, resulting in solids with different thermodynamic properties and stabilities specific to the particular form of the drug. It is entirely possible that one crystalline form is preferable over another where certain aspects such as ease of preparation, stability, and like parameters are deemed to be critical. Similarly, greater solubility and/or superior pharmacokinetics may be desired characteristics.

Certain substituted anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamide compounds have been shown to inhibit inappropriately high kinase activity, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,048,866. One limitation of such anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamide compounds is that they are not water soluble in a free base form. There is a need for crystalline, water-soluble forms of substituted anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamide compounds that selectively inhibit kinase activity and corresponding new methods for preparing and manufacturing such compounds. The present compositions fulfill this need, including IKK inhibitors. Compositions of the invention are useful in the treatment of conditions including, but not limited to for example, polycystic kidney disease, colonic polyps, cancer, and stroke in mammals.

Because improved drug formulations showing, for example, better bioavailability or better stability are progressively achieved, there is an ongoing need for new or purer crystalline forms of existing drug molecules. Methods for preparing, and manufacturing crystalline forms and polymorphs of specific anilino-pyrimidine benzenesulfonamide compounds, as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are disclosed, and claimed herein. In addition, methods for converting one polymorph to other different polymorphs are also disclosed and claimed herein.

According to one embodiment, one polymorph of the compound of formula I as a pharmaceutically salt is prepared from an organic acid and the compound of formula I in a certain solvent mixture (e.g., acetone:water). The one crystalline polymorph precipitates by crystallizing out from the mixture of reactants and the one or more solvents. Recrystallizing the precipitated one crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the organic acid, from a different one or more solvents (e.g., ethanol:water, isopropanol) or from diluting the one or more solvents with water/solvents or from reducing the volume of the one or more solvents, converts the one crystalline polymorph to a different crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid salt, as characterized by polycrystalline XRD.

According to a separate embodiment, the invention provides a method for converting one crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt to a different crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, comprising the steps of: heating an amount of one crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt to a temperature that converts it to a different crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The temperature needed to convert the one crystalline polymorph to a different crystalline polymorph depends on the thermal stability of the new polymorph relative to the one polymorph. Suitable temperatures for converting one pcrystalline polymorph to a different crystalline polymorph range from 40° C. to 250° C., including temperatures below the decomposition temperatures of particular crystalline polymorphs.

According to one embodiment, heating one crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salts converts the one polymorph to successively different crystalline polymorphs of the compound as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt, as each specific conversion range of higher temperatures is achieved. Different crystalline polymorphs are confirmed by analytical methods, including XRD patterns and data, DSC and TGA.

According to a separate embodiment, one crystalline polymorph of a compound of formula I as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt is converted to a different crystalline polymorph of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt by using a combination of heating and one or more solvents. A different polymorph may also be prepared using an optional step of heating the one crystalline polymorph of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt in one or more solvents to a temperature that converts the one crystalline polymorph to a different polymorph of the compound of formula I. The new crystalline polymorphs of the compound of formula I as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes any pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and hydrates of the salt.

Suitable solvents include water, mixtures of water and conventional organic solvents. Suitable organic solvents, include, but are not limited to for example, acetone, ethanol, methanol, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethoxyothane, 1,3-dioxane, furan, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, anisole, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol, ethylene glycol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, diethylene, glycol, monoethyl ether, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol, phenol, glycerol, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and related solvents. The volume of water:solvent in the crystallizing solvent ranges from 1:100 to 1000:1, including 1:10 to 100:1, and including 1:5 to 10:1.

Typically, water solubilities of the compounds of formula I in the form of a free base range from low to no water solubility. In an exemplary embodiment, the solubility of the free base form of compound 3 in THF, DMSO and DMF was high but the solubility in group 3 solvents, including water for example, was low. For example, acetone is needed to dissolve the free base at 50° C. Solubility of the free base 3 in water was not detectable by a thermogravimeteric method (Nil). HCl, phosphoric acid, tartaric acid, acetic acid, D-glucoronic acid and succinic acid were used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compound 3. One crystalline form of compound 3 as a mono-succinate salt and five crystalline polymorphs of compound 3 as a hemi-succinate salt are provided in the Examples.

Typically, the crystalline forms and polymorphs thereof can be prepared by dissolving a compound of formula 1, such as compound 3, in a suitable solvent with equivalent weights, equivalent molar weights and weight ratios of salt forming compounds selected from: acids, organic acids, bases, organic bases to the compound of formula I ranging from 1:0.1 to 1:5, based on weight or molar weight, including from 1:0.1 to 1:0.7; from 1:0.1 to 1:0.5; from 1:1 to 1:5 and from 1:1 to 1:>5.

In an exemplary embodiment, mixing compound 3 and succinic acid, in equivalent molar weight ratios of succinic acid to compound 3 ranging from 1:1 to 1:5 produces one crystalline form of compound 3 as a mono-succinate salt. One crystalline form of compound 3 was isolated and characterized, N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide as a mono-succinate salt. The mono-succinate salt is identified by one or more solid-state analytical methods. For example, the mono-succinate salt is identified by characteristic powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, as shown in FIG. 1. Polycrystalline XRD data consistent with the mono-succinate salt are provided in Table 1 below. One skilled in the art would understand that the relative intensities of the polycrystalline XRD peaks can vary, depending upon the sample preparation technique, the sample mounting procedure and the particular instrument employed. Moreover, instrument variation and other factors can affect the 2-theta values. Therefore, the polycrystalline XRD peak assignments can vary by plus or minus about 0.2°. The NMR spectrum of the free base of compound 3 is shown in FIG. 2 a. The NMR spectrum of N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide as a mono-succinate salt is shown in FIG. 2 b. The ratio of the free base compound 3 to succinic acid is 1:1 from the analysis of the NMR data. N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide, as a mono-succinate salt, is also identified by its characteristic differential scanning (DSC) trace, as shown in FIG. 3. Melting point is observed at 171.6° C., with an endotherm maxima at 174.2° C. N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)benzenesulfonamide, as a mono-succinate salt, is also identified by its characteristic thermogravimmetric analysis (TGA) thermogram, as shown in FIG. 4. A weight loss consistent with succinic acid is observed from the TGA thermogram.

Alternative methods of heating a mixture of free base 3 and succinic acid in water or by heating a mixture of free base 3 and succinic acid in an ethanol:water (5:3 by volume) solvent mixture at 50-55° C. or changing the amount of succinic acid to the amount of freebase 3 (by weight, weight ratio or equivalent molar weights) resulted in the same crystalline form of N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide as a mono-succinate, also identified by its powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and data, as compared to the polycrystalline XRD data in Table I.

In a separate exemplary embodiment, an equivalent weight ratio of succinic acid to compound 3 of 1:0.7 to 1:0.1 produces one crystalline polymorph of compound 3 as a hemi-succinate salt. The solvent system and temperature appears to play a role in the particular crystalline polymorph formed. One polymorph (Form I) of the hemi-succinate salt of 3 is formed using a acetone:water mixture. Reducing the volume of the acetone:water solvent, as compared to the volume that provides the Form I polymorph, and heating the reactants mixture to 60° C. produces a different crystalline polymorph of the hemi-succinate of 3 (Form II).

The Form II crystalline polymorph of compound 3 as a hemi-succinate salt is used to prepare different crystalline polymorphs of the hemi-succinate salt of compound 3. Heating the Form II polymorph to 70° C. and cooling to room temperature converts the Form II polymorph of the hemi-succinate salt of 3 to a different crystalline polymorph of the hemi-succinate salt of 3, the Form III polymorph. The Form III polymorph was characterized by XRD and other analytical methods. Heating the Form II polymorph to 125° C. and cooling to room temperature converts the Form II polymorph of the hemi-succinate salt of 3 to another different crystalline polymorph of the hemi-succinate salt of 3, the Form IV polymorph. The Form IV polymorph was characterized by XRD and other analytical methods. Heating the Form II polymorph to 140° C. and cooling to room temperature converts the Form II polymorph of the hemi-succinate salt of 3 to yet another different crystalline polymorph of the hemi-succinate salt of 3, the Form V polymorph. The Form V polymorph was characterized by XRD and other analytical methods.

Five crystalline forms or polymorphs of compound 3 were isolated and characterized as hemi-succinate salts. One crystalline polymorph, N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide as a hemi-succinate, is referred to herein as Form I. The Form I polymorph is identified by one or more solid-state analytical methods. The Form I polymorph is identified by its characteristic polycrystalline XRD pattern, as shown in FIG. 5. Polycrystalline XRD data consistent with the Form I polymorph are provided in Table 2 below. The NMR spectrum of N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide as a hemi-succinate salt is shown in FIG. 6. The ratio of succinate to compound 3 was determined to be 2:1 based on NMR analysis. N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide, as a hemi-succinate salt, is also identified by its characteristic differential scanning (DSC) trace, as shown in FIG. 11. The melting point of the hemi-succinate is 125° C. from the broad endotherm indicated by DSC analysis. One broad endotherm having maxima at 98.4° C. is also observed and another large endotherm having maxima at 155.6° C. is also observed. Yet another large endotherm having maxima at 165° C. is observed. N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-4-(4-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-benzenesulfonamide as a hemi-succinate is also identified by its characteristic TGA thermogram, as shown in FIG. 12. A weight loss consistent with succinic acid was observed in the TGA thermogram. The Form I hemi-succinate salt of compound 3 was prepared by mixing 2 molar equivalents of the free base 3 in an acetone:water solvent (5:2 by volume) and one molar equivalent of succinic acid and heating the mixture to 50-55° C. until the reactants of the mixture dissolved. Adding an additional amount of acetone to the mixture followed by cooling the mixture to room temperature, allowed crystallization of the Form I hemi-succinate salt, precipitating out of the solvent mixture in pure form. The Form I polymorphic salt was dried under vacuum at 50° C. and characterized by XRD and other analytical methods detailed herein.

The active ingredient of the invention (salts and polymorphs thereof) and excipients may be formulated into compositions and dosage forms according to methods known in the art.

A composition, including salts and polymorphs of the invention, for tableting or capsule filling may be prepared by wet granulation. In wet granulation, some or all of the active ingredients and excipients in powder form are blended and then further mixed in the presence of a liquid, typically water, that causes the powders to clump into granules. The granulate is screened and/or milled, dried and then screened and/or milled to the desired particle size. The granulate may then be tableted, or other excipients may be added prior to tableting, such as a glidant and/or a lubricant.

A tableting composition, including salts and polymorphs of the invention, may be prepared conventionally by dry blending. For example, the blended composition of the actives and excipients may be compacted into a slug or a sheet and then comminuted into compacted granules. The compacted granules may subsequently be compressed into a tablet.

As an alternative to dry granulation, a blended composition that includes salt and polymorphs of the invention may be compressed directly into a compacted dosage form using direct compression techniques. Direct compression produces a more uniform tablet without granules. Excipients that are particularly well suited for direct compression tableting include microcrystalline cellulose, spray dried lactose, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate and colloidal silica. The proper use of these and other excipients in direct compression tableting is known to those in the art with experience and skill in particular formulation challenges of direct compression tableting.
